"There are no easy opponents in this tournament. We just follow the coach's instructions precisely and achieve easy victories."
Idman.biz reports that these words were said by Qarabag footballer Kevin Medina in an interview with Telegraf, while talking about their 5:1 victory over North Macedonia's Shkendija club in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League (CL).
The 32-year-old defender said that he was happy that the Aghdam representative qualified for the CL play-off stage: "As a team, we want to continue our success. As we have seen, we played a good game. We performed excellently both collectively and individually. All the players showed great determination on the field and reaped the benefits of our efforts. Today we demonstrated that we are well prepared in every way. I hope our success will continue in the future."
Medina emphasized that they are aiming for the main stage of the CL: "Every year we are one step away from achieving the result we want. We will face strong teams because the competition is very tough and every club is showing their strength. Now we have to do our best to qualify for the main stage. Every year we get closer to our goal. We just need patience and determination. We must not have despair within us. We believe that God will show us the right way and ensure our success."
